In a heartfelt gesture ahead of the much-anticipated ‘Border 2’ release, Bollywood star Varun Dhawan paid a poignant visit to the family of late Major Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, a Param Vir Chakra awardee whose bravery inspired the film. The actor, set to portray the heroic soldier on screen, sought blessings and shared emotional moments with the veteran’s kin in their hometown.
Dhawan, known for his dedication to authentic roles, arrived unannounced, catching the family by surprise. Photos circulating online show him in casual attire, seated humbly with family members, listening intently to their stories about Major Dahiya’s life and sacrifices during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. ‘It’s an honor to bring his story to life,’ Dhawan reportedly said, visibly moved.
The visit underscores the film’s commitment to honoring real-life heroes. Directed by Anurag Singh, ‘Border 2’ continues the legacy of the 1997 blockbuster, focusing on untold tales from the Battle of Longewala. With a star-studded cast including Sunny Deol reprising his role, the movie promises high-octane action blended with deep patriotism.
Family members expressed gratitude, noting how Dhawan’s sincerity bridges cinema and reality. As release dates firm up, this encounter has fans buzzing, eager for a film that salutes India’s unsung warriors. Dhawan’s gesture not only humanizes the project but elevates its emotional stakes, reminding audiences of the real blood and valor behind the silver screen glory.
